Description

A tall pottery jar with a flared neck and rounded shoulders stands on a white pedestal against a dark backdrop. Its pale surface has a horizontal band of raised ridges around the body and curved raised lines above it, and the lower body shows cracks and repairs. A low bench and a doorway are faintly visible behind it.
